Me thinks pre-manufactured clothing was in general a bad idea ..... especially given the bizarre STEREOTYPES about women that seem to influence clothing manufacturing -- making clothes for what size they "should be" instead of what size they *are* ....
AMEN! clothes shopping is a highly frustrating event for nearly every woman i know. i'm 5'8 ~ too tall for "average" and too short for "tall" when it comes to jeans. it's insane. i'm fortunate that i have a seamstress for a neighbor, and she has reasonable rates. So far she's only done alterations for me, but methinks i'll be hiring her to tailor-make some clothing later this year.
